Denim And Diamonds
Denim And Diamonds has been a long time between drinks. The 4-year-old broke through for its first career win at Limerick back in June 2025, but that remains its sole success across 13 races — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 12 attempts. Since that breakthrough, the horse has managed just one place finish in its last six outings, a run that includes finishes of fifth, seventh, fourth, eighth, seventh, and tenth. It is currently active and raced just a day ago, so the yard are still searching for a second win after more than a year without one.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What makes Denim And Diamonds remotely interesting is its preference for longer distances. Over races between a mile and six furlongs and two miles, it has won 1 of 8 — a 12 percent win rate that is markedly better than its overall record. That stretch of ground seems to suit the horse's running style in a way that shorter trips do not. Trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien at Owning Hill in County Kilkerry, it races for a yard that has already sent out 160 winners this season, so there is plenty of horsepower in the operation. Still, the simple fact remains: Denim And Diamonds has not found a race since that day at Limerick 16 months ago, and the recent form suggests it is struggling to get competitive in the current climate.
